Well, what an exciting end to the football season with the Home Town bringing home the trophy! We will blink and Spring will start appearing in small morsels. But for now, we can relish in the spirit of nicer weather, with the sun setting later each day. The changing of the seasons doesn't seem to hamper outdoor activities. We also have added to the team, with the additon of another, experienced, former State Farm team member. This allows me to have more service people to take care of you--our policyholders. Let's also think about how we look with your protection fits especially if you are in the market for a purchase, new car deals and incentives or just shopping a bit for a new carrier. Is everything in proper form? Do we need to look at changing coverages in case you plan to garage that Summer only classic car...maybe thinking about the boat you've been envisioning? How about the motorcycle or RV? A big one...is our replacement cost for our home up to date? The values on homes have changed dramatically so let's work together to keep this current. Have you been thinking about life insurance but putting it off because, well it's life insurance. Let's have those conversations to protect you and your loved ones.

One of my passions is to go over the health of your protection and see how it stacks up to current market environments. Maybe a new car or boat are on the horizon. Or a new house. In light of recent weather events around the country, let's make sure the replacement cost for your home stacks up to current market. Please reach out if you would like to do a policy review to ensure your protection is aligned with your life. After over 30 years' experience in the industry I often times find areas that could use some refinement. The biggie for me: is your most precious asset covered for those in your life you care the most about? Yes, life insurance. Do you notice that I keep bringing this up? There is a reason. We can replace a car, a jet ski, a ring but what happens if we don't make it home that night? This is why I am so passionate about protecting one's life. If you do have life insurance, is it enough to cover living expenses should you not come home one day? If not, what are the implications? Will your loved ones be able to continue on with the right financial protection? Let's discuss this. Read our Google reviews, get a feel for who we are and how we perform. Call to schedule time with me or my team.

Being a military brat I have lived all over the world, as well as many locations across the country. I myself came to the Pacific Northwest, being stationed at Fort Lewis, veteran--US Army. After my enlistment I decided to stay in the Northwest, going on to study economics at the University of Washington, with grad work at Cornell University. Proud father of 3 children, with their 6 kidlets. Although it takes work, I am a low handicap golfer, having participated (and placed!) in several Pro AMs. I love to cook (came from a restaurant family), entertain, travel, and living a healthy lifestyle. I love the magnificence of live performances to include concerts, Broadway type shows, TedX, and comedy shows.

Proud member of Edmonds Chamber of Commerce and Rotary. I recently was elected as a board member for the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, our community based symphony. Music has always been a personal passion so giving back this way truly touches my love for music. I am involved in the Edmonds community as I live here, have my office in the heart of Downtown, as mentioned am part of Chamber and Rotary and am involved in civic pursuits.

My office serves Edmonds, Shoreline, Lynnwood and surrounding areas. We provide the full array of insurance options to include auto, home, renter's, boat, RV, and other lines. We even provide pet health insurance. My reason for being an agent is in working with you on protecting your most valuable asset (you!) with life insurance and health insurance. In my over three decades in this industry, I also have a niche with small business owners, offering business and commercial lines of insurance, as well as retirement plan services. I have a team who are very good at taking care of those who place their protection in us and State Farm. Call us during the week from 9:00am to 5:00pm. I will gladly meet by appointment for evenings or weekends.
